December Boys

[artsylynda at aol.com]

It was only in Chicago for a WEEK?!  I just looked at  BoxOfficeMojo (a list 
of how many theaters all movies are in that comes to my  email each week - 
shows how many weeks the film has been out, whether it's  declining or getting 
into more theaters, etc.).  December Boys for this  week was in 13 theaters 
around the country, an increase of five theaters over  last week, and this is it's 
third week in release.  George Clooney's movie  "Michael Clayton" will open 
in only 15 theaters, but then it opens  nationwide.  *sigh*  That's the problem 
with indie films, they don't  have the deep pockets behind them to open wide. 
 And honestly, if Dan  weren't in the film, I know I wouldn't bother with it, 
and probably a lot of you  guys wouldn't either.  It would probably have 
never left Australia if Dan  weren't in it.  I hope it does well enough to open 
wider, but I'm not  holding my breath.  I haven't seen any box office numbers 
for it (how many  people have been to see it).  I don't know where to find that 
info.   The BoxOfficeMojo site has it but you have to pay to get that kind of 
info and  I'm not THAT much of a fanatic!  (Close, though . . .)
 
I'll be out of town when it opens in Cincinnati Oct. 12 and won't  be able to 
go the next week either, so I sure hope it will be in Cincinnati  longer than 
a week!!!!!  Where did you find out how long it would be in  town?  Maybe 
there's a website I've missed in my poking around for movie  info on the Internet 
. . .
 
Oh, and the site where I get the theater counts is _www.boxofficemojo.com_
